I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sporting event' is the definition.
'road game' can be an answer for 'event' (road game is a kind of event). I am unsure of the 'sporting' bit.

'notice georgia in capital' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad'.
'georgia' becomes 'ga'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'capital' becomes 'rome' (Rome is an example).
'ad'+'ga'='adga'
'adga' placed within 'rome' is 'ROAD GAME'.
